How much energy can be saved if we use the right light fittings, lower power light ratings.
Most of the light fittings is selected wrongly due to ignorance and what is available on the shelf. The big light company's is also to blame as the don't care about the type of fittings being sold as long as they make the sale. Low power Led lights is available from the manufactures but nothing is available on the shelves of the big resellers. Wish I had a answer to this.

Street lights is the biggest culprits due the high wattage of these lights and the big number of street lights been used. The government departments is also not really interested in changing over to low power LED lamps to try and save energy as this is not their problem. They rather transfer the power problem to private individuals to fix rather than to take leadership and get the individuals to follow. With current light fittings it is my guess that we can save between 15% and 45% by just changing the street light fittings in South Africa. Changing to LED lights will save a further 50% of energy. 25% of all energy used is for lighting. The luminance can also be lowered if the right fittings and LED lamps is used. The total saving on power is then 65%. WOW.
How many street lamps do we have in South Africa? I guess we can save at least another two Power stations.
